7.7 Sensor Loop Response Time
The panel scans both on and off-board sensor loops per Point Index programming. See Point Index
Configuration in the D6412/D4412 Program Entry Guide (P/N: 45351).
The panel scans sensor loops for ‘pulses’ (electrically off normal events). The Point Index determines the Pulse
Count and Pulse Count Time for each sensor loop. If the panel sees enough pulses within an interval defined by
the Pulse Count Time to reach the Pulse Count, it puts the sensor loop in a faulted condition.
The panel scans the sensor loops at one of two scan rates as shown in Table 4.

Table 4: Point Scan Time/Pulse Count Time Selections
The scan rates for off-board sensor loops are determined by the point expansion modules they are associated
with. The panel scans modules with off-board points at the 150 ms scan rate.
WARNING
Increasing the Pulse Count and Pulse Count Time may cause missed alarms. If you increase the Pulse
Count and Pulse Count Time, detection devices may go into alarm and reset without exceeding the
Pulse Count or Pulse Count Time.
Radionics recommends using the default settings for Pulse Count and Pulse Count Time.
